The Whampoa Military Academy is the cradle of military talent in China and an important achievement of the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. It cultivated a large number of military and political talents for China's resistance through a balanced emphasis on military and political training, as well as the integration of theory and practice, sending a large number of key military leaders and elite forces. The exhibition "Whampoa Military Academy and the War of Resistance Against Japan (1931-1945)" is divided into four major sections and showcases over 120 precious historical photographs, illustrating the establishment and development of the Whampoa Military Academy, the bravery of Whampoa soldiers in the War of Resistance Against Japan, the iron-blooded spirit displayed during the World Anti-Fascist War, and the outstanding contributions made to ultimately secure peace. This exhibition vividly interprets the glorious history of the Whampoa Military Academy and how the Whampoa soldiers built a steel Great Wall to defend the motherland with their blood and lives, composing a magnificent epic that moves the heavens and weeps the ghosts.

The exhibition will be held on the third floor of the former command center of the August First Uprising, from September 30, 2015, to November 30, 2015. We welcome the general public to visit.
